Autumn 1978.

Pujiang City, the magic capital.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in a state-run snack bar across the street from Pujiang Translation Studio, a young man in his early twenties was drinking soy milk while enjoying the bustling scenery outside the store.

It's been almost a month since he came to this world, and he still has a good taste.

Jiang Shan, a new media cross-border boss in the previous life, has been dominant all the way since graduating from university.

But he never thought that on his 40th birthday, he inexplicably returned to 1978.

Fortunately, he soon discovered that although this place was a parallel time and space, everything here had a high degree of similarity to the previous life.

So, he immediately decided to turn what he saw and learned in the previous life into a golden finger in this life.

After drinking the last sip of soy milk, Jiang Shan pinched a few gross tickets in his pocket, which is all his current net worth.

Looking at the signboard with black letters on a white background on the opposite side, Jiang Shan strode across the street.

"Hello uncle,"

Standing at the gate of Pujiang Translation Studio, Jiang Shan greeted the uncle in the communication room:

"May I ask if your factory is recruiting temporary translators?"

The uncle in the communication room looked up at him: "Yes, but do you have a letter of introduction?" ”

Jiang Shan smiled, and he knew that there would be this one: "For you, I'm from Pujiang Daily." ”

A few minutes later, Jiang Shan walked into the office of the translation team of Pujiang Translation Studio.

The size of this office is not small.

On the white wall is a red plaque that reads, "The translation of the script must be flavorful, and the dubbing of the actors must be divine".

The old wooden floor is dark red, and occasionally creaks when you walk.

There are not many employees in the office, and at first glance, there are only four or five of them.

Some lay on the table to write and draw, and some gathered around to discuss the translation of the script.

At this time, in front of Jiangshan, there were already three young people standing with letters of introduction in their hands.

At this meeting, after reading the letter of introduction, Team Leader Lu of the translation team looked at Jiang Shan with a frown: "What level of education are you?" Why isn't it written in this letter of introduction? ”

Jiang Shan stubbornly said: "Graduated from junior high school." ”

As soon as he spoke, one of his nearest gay men turned to look at him, then smiled.

The other two didn't react, but Jiang Shan noticed their slightly raised chins.

It seems that his arrival has boosted the morale of others.

However, the former master did take the initiative to become an intellectual youth after graduating from junior high school.

"Junior high school?" Team Leader Lu frowned: "Then you have studied a foreign language?" ”

"Learned."

"Which Chinese language?"

"English and Japanese are not bad, and French is no problem to listen and speak, but it is difficult to write." Jiang Shan replied truthfully.

After he said this, not only Team Leader Lu, but even several other employees in the office couldn't help but look at him.

The height of 1.8 meters looks quite handsome, and from the washed and yellowed white shirt on his body, it can be seen that the owner's life is not easy.

"Huh," Team Leader Lu couldn't help laughing: "The little comrade's tone is not small, and he is still in English and Japanese, so our translator here is not easy to fool." ”

Jiang Shan also smiled, revealing a neat row of white teeth, and the youthful sunshine that couldn't be hidden between his eyebrows: "I didn't want to fool you." ”

Just as Team Leader Lu was about to ask a few more questions, the door of the office was pushed open.

"Lu Yi,"

A man in his fifties hurried in.

While patting the script in his hand, he wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "This sentence, why do I still feel that it is wrong!" ”

Team Leader Lu hurriedly took the script and took a look, and then said with a wry smile: "I said Director Hu, you changed this version personally, and you are still not satisfied?" ”

Jiang Shan glanced at the script curiously, and the words "Tragedy on the Nile" on the cover immediately aroused his interest.

"But when I was in the shed just now, how awkward did I hear it......"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Team Leader Lu.

"You're just in time, come on,"

He pointed to the person who had just entered the door and introduced to Jiangshan and his party: "This is Hu Xiaohu, the director of our Pujiang Translation Studio, everyone is welcome." ”

Several comrades who came to apply for the job immediately applauded, and Jiangshan slapped the loudest.

Team Leader Lu continued: "Next, I will ask Director Hu to give you an exam question, don't be nervous, just play normally." ”

Director Hu was stunned for a moment, he was just going to come over to scrutinize a line, why did he still give him a job?

Team Leader Lu stood aside with a smile, he was really afraid of this Director Hu who "likes to drill words".

A line must not only be desirable but also consider the lip shape, it is not enough to do this, but also to bring some charm that is in line with the plot.

It's too difficult, it's too difficult, the workload of the translation team has doubled several times recently, and my hair is almost gone.

Since the second half of 1978, dubbed films have entered a golden age of rapid development.

In order to meet the people's unprecedentedly high demand for movie-watching, a large number of excellent films from various countries were waiting in line in the translation studio.

"Okay,"

Director Hu is not afraid, isn't it just to select qualified translators, as the head of a factory, he is in charge: "Then today's recruitment assessment will be up to me." ”

I was thinking about what exam questions to come up with, and I inadvertently saw the script in my hand, and my eyes lit up: "Comrades, have any of you read the book "Tragedy on the Nile"? ”

Among the four people, three raised their hands, including Jiang Shan.

"And which of you has seen the original, that is, the English version of "Tragedy on the Nile"?"

One of them put down his hand, Jiang Shan's hand was still raised, and Team Leader Lu on the side had a somewhat surprised expression.

"Very good," Director Hu nodded to the last two who raised their hands: "Team Leader Lu, put that little section away." ”

Team Leader Lu immediately understood what the factory director meant, and immediately turned on a TV on his desk.

As the VCR was debugged, several of the candidates present were quickly attracted by the images on the TV.

The video cuts directly to the end credits:

[Young Miss Lorissa took her boyfriend's hand and happily ran to the protagonist Detective Pogue.

Excitedly said, "Mr. Poirot, I'd like to be the first to let you know that we've just gotten engaged." ”

Detective Poirot immediately sent his blessing: "Congratulations. ”

When he saw the little couple holding hands and running down the spiral ladder, Poirot shouted again: "Take it easy!" 】

When the video was played, the pause button was pressed by Team Leader Lu.

"Alright,"

Director Hu looked at a few and asked, "Let me ask everyone, how should I turn it over here?" “

As soon as the question came out, one of them immediately answered: "Don't care!" ”

Director Hu frowned.

Another: "Don't be nervous." ”

Team Leader Lu also frowned.

"I've read this novel and think it should be more relaxed."

The gay man who said this was the one standing beside Jiang Shan.

He was the oldest of the bunch, and he was another person who had read the original book of Tragedy on the Nile.

His words made the two leaders in front of him nod.

Team Leader Lu said with a smile: "This comrade has obviously figured out the trick of translating films, and what our Director Hu translates is: relax." ”

In fact, Lu Yi's original translation of this sentence was: "Be careful." ”

But after Director Hu saw the translated script, he felt that according to the character of the great detective Poirot, he would never be able to say such a mother-in-law's words.

After much deliberation, it was changed to: "Relax." ”

But when he was in the recording studio and heard the voice actor say it, he still felt that something was wrong, and he felt that he was missing some of the ruffians that a great detective should have.

"Take it easy,"

At this time, a voice pulled Director Hu's attention away: "What? ”

Jiang Shan repeated: "I think it's more leisurely, which is more in line with Inspector Poirot." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the office were focused again.
